| A triple grass | D |
| Shoots up with dew drops streaming | E |
| As softly green | F |
| As emeralds seen | F |
| Through purest crystal gleaming | E |

| They wove that morn together | L |
| And ne'er may fall | P |
| One drop of gall | P |
| On Wit's celestial feather | L |
| May Love as twine | Q |
| His flowers divine | Q |
| Of thorny falsehood weed 'em | R |
| May Valour ne'er | S |
| His standard rear | T |
| Against the cause of Freedom | R |
| Oh the Shamrock the green immortal Shamrock | G |
| Chosen leaf etc | N |
